Same with things like kitchen cabinets, countertops, etc. 

For the most part I have found that the cost of labor is about double (or more) of materials.Now when I look at a home, I look at cabinets, exterior, laminate, tile work, and more and then estimate what it will cost to repair and then I plan it on a Gantt chart and estimate costs with a 10% overage + labor.

At first glance, it needs:Exterior: Roof, Siding, Gutters, Doors incl Garage door, Garage wall repair (there is a hole in the wall), Driveway (gravel & asphalt are common in the neighborhood)Interior: Drywall, Flooring, Cabinets, fixtures   250,000 ARV/Selling Price- 25,000 Profit- 110,000 Rehab costs (complete guess)-    4,000 Purchasing costs (inspections, etc)-    7,500 Holding costs (based on 6 month rehab)-  15,000 Selling costs-  15,000 Contingency costs     73,500 Maximum OfferI think the $250k sales price is low. 

I just put them in at my home because I made custom hardwood cabinets and didn't yet have the money to do the counters, so for a couple hundred bucks did the laminate counters.

Will painting the kitchen cabinet help at all?

Raise the rent to 1500 if the home after rehab is worth 160 grand.Rehab costs are always more than you estimate so be prepared for some possible sleepless nights.Concentrate on getting the roof,plumbing,and electrical in good condition and really check hard for foundation cracks,leaks,and serious damage.Use attractive ,yet affordable fixtures,cabinets,and appliances to attract good tenants looking to pay more for a fine rebuilt home.

Hello all,Can anyone in the Atlanta / Decatur area recommend a good cabinet/counter person or have advice on how to find good a quality cabinet builder/installer?

We are about to finish the paint and patch work along with adding the new appliances but I think the granite and cabinets came out great.

(paint, counters, cabinet update)I know there are probably several options I have not considered.
